<h3>Import Complex Generic Binary Product</h3>

<p>This option allows to import Complex Generic Binary.</p>

<p>
    The Complex Generic Binary is an extension of the <a href="ImportGenericBinary.html">Generic Binary Reader</a> for
    importing complex data into SNAP. The expected input format of the complex data that real (Re) and imaginary (Im)
    parts of the complex number are stored in sequential order. In other words, given a complex matrix, the real value
    of first element is stored first, then imaginary value of the first element, to be followed by the real, imaginary
    parts of the complex number of the second element.
</p>

<p>
    The input parameters for the Complex Generic Binary Reader are the same as of
    <a href="ImportGenericBinary.html">Generic Binary Reader</a>. First a dialog will prompt for specifying the input
    file. Then a second dialog will show up asking for the dimensions of the image, data type, number of bands, byte
    order and the number bytes to skip for the header.
</p>

<p>Note: The Complex Generic Binary reader currently only supports BSQ (Band-Sequential) formatted data.</p>
